The International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE) and the Chinese Aeronautical Establishment (CAE) yesterday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that establishes a comprehensive framework for collaboration in aeronautical research, innovation, and academic exchange. The agreement was formalized in Barcelona by Dr. Gong Xudong, Vice-President of CAE, and Prof. Javier Bonet, General Director of CIMNE.
The strategic partnership outlines ambitious cooperation goals between both institutions, encompassing scientific visits from both sides, organization of specific sessions at international events, and joint supervision of PhD students. This collaboration leverages CIMNE’s expertise in numerical methods and computational engineering with CAE’s position as a leading aeronautical research organization in China, comprising 36 specialized institutes.
The agreement is particularly focused on advancing applied numerical simulation capabilities, providing expanded access to research and innovation opportunities in specialized aeronautical solutions.
This MoU builds upon CIMNE’s extensive history of collaboration with Chinese institutions, which has been developing through various networks and European projects since 2005
“CIMNE and CAE aim to generate significant contributions to aeronautical science while providing enhanced training opportunities for the next generation of researchers and engineers”, said Prof. Bonet.
